Indicators/ Evidence
Analysis/ Interpretation
3.1 Promotes and engages in the improvement of social and environmental conditions.
09/12-16/11 - has taken over the main application
of our behavior modification plan with the kids. Does this intuitively now in class. CPM
09/12-16/11 - MS has recognized the value of catching the kids being good and rewarding them publicly for those behaviors while down playing the trivial poorer behaviors exhibited in the first few weeks of school ( the honeymoon period). She has
vocalized to me on more than one occasion that her ability to catch herself from pointing out minor negative behaviors in favor of recognizing the positives going on around the negatives has been increasing. CPM
3.2 Identifies and ameliorates ways in which socio-economic status affects children, learning and community.
ELA Unit 1 - when assignments are required to be typed adequate class time is provided to the students. MS
ELA Unit 1 - I provide students with plenty of opportunity to use the computers as I know that not all students will have access to computers outside of school. MS
3.3 Demonstrates, shares, and assists students in developing critical insights into current issues.


3.4 Empowers students by assisting in development of understandings of democratic action.
10/11/11 - When coaching volleyball and being short players we worked together to place the girls into positions which would be most effective and make all of the girls happy - This continued for the last set when we only had 5 girls and pulled one up from the developmental team; the girls decided which position would be easiest for the new player to learn switching - MS
10/11/11 Since we only had 6 girls and three are normally setters we worked together to decide who would move to which position. It worked well to do this with the girls as it enabled me to ensure that all of the girls were happy with the decisions that were made throughout the entire game - MS
3.5 Develops in self and others understanding of exceptionality and inclusive education.
09/2 - "in self" - MS has indicated a
personal interest in working with students
who have varying/special needs. MS recounted
that this has been an interest of hers since high school
and that it has been strengthen in university. - CPM
09/2 - This interest and former experience
will only aid MS in her workings this year with
the students in our class who have more
challenging needs.- CPM
3.6 Develops in self and others understanding of anti-racist and anti-oppressive approaches to education.
